Welcome Home Dea and Marcia


Dave's parents got home from their 3-year mission for our church on Saturday, June 28. Everybody was excited to see them. The entire family had shirts made to celebrate the occasion. Bright blue. With numbers correlating to their birth-order. Needless to say, we definitely made a scene at the airport!
The grandkids were all standing in line, according to number order. (Will is folding his arms...they must have taught him that at church.)

Here's Will giving Grampa Dea a hug. (Will was born 2 weeks after they left and only got to visit them twice while they were gone. We're all excited for the kids to get to know Grandpa and Grandma.)

Mckenzie wasn't shy and went right to Grandma Marcia.

Here's all the grandkids sitting on the shoe-shine stand by security. (We all liked the sign that said Area of Rescue Assistance. What are we trying to say?)
Although we are so excited to have Dea and Marcia back, we are sad because we know that our family was very blessed because of their willingness to serve. We also know the people in Colorado will miss them too.

I was hoping you would post some pictures of Dea and Marcia coming home! I am sure you all were quite the spectacle at the airport. I love the shirts though. I can't wait to see Dea and Marcia next time I am home for a visit!
